Damn OS4!!!

[boborulz]

So I have been holding off updating from 3.1 to 4 since it came out. Well I updated, absolutely loved the new features!!! But then, as I expected the problems started flooding in.

I use XP SP3. Ableton Live 8.0.4. My virusTI 3.1OS and mbox 2. P4 3.2 with 2gb of RAM.

1. Arp hold wasn't working when I was using the A01 100 MM Preset in the new os4 preset list.

2. Have noticed that VC work flow in general is a lot more sluggish.

3. The major one: Had been working fine with OS4 for a bit, then ableton crashed. I try to reopen it, and it says ableton has had a serious error and has to close. Same with other song saves too. So I restarted my computer, and it runs ok. But only in all my other songs. Not the one I had been working in, same problem occurs. Now I know this doesn't say much in terms of specifics, but this is all I know/can find out.

So to fix, I uninstalled Ableton and Virus control. Reinstall newer ableton (8.1.1) and rolled back my firmware to 3.1....works ok now. Bugger!! I loved OS4....

Anyone have a similar experience? Know of any alternate fixes?

Right I'm off to spread the word on Access' site.

Yes I have....I would like to have the OS4 features back though...Arp input has revolutionised this synth!

i'm not sure if i understand what you mean. did you downgrade to OS3 to get the arp back?

best, marc

Yea, I said I rolled back to 3.1...which hasn't given me any problems since it came out. How far is 4.1 from being done?

[marc]

but you understand that:

1) there is nothing wrong with that preset
2) there seem to be no others sharing this problem
3) this is most likely a corrupted song / others don't have this problem
